My first impressions of Kylington is that the majority of work he needs is between his ears. He comes off as overly confident, bordering on cocky; this can be a positive and negative when it comes to coachability and development.
He has also subtly implied that he isn't very interested in going to Brandon. Pure speculation, but I suspect that his living environment is very important to his mental outlook and the idea of going to a small, rural prairie town does not appeal to him.
Although it would be potentially better for him to go to Brandon, get top minutes and learn some humility. I'm not sure if it is the best environment for him mentally.
He spends his off season training with NHLers, he has played against men for two years, and he just got out of a well-paying gig in Stockholm to improve his development; I say put him in Stockton where he will hopefully be more motivated to compete and receptive to change.
